No kidding. I'd be doing stuff that got mentioned in the international news as "shocking".

At least we had enough sense to stay out of the county papers, if you get my drift...

If you had the free time and were coherent enough to read the papers,you definitely weren't partying hard enough.

I have came to in different states than I was in when I started out the day. When you wake up in a strange house and don't remember how you got there or who it is you are with,where you met her,etc,etc,etc,the wise man will quietly dress and sneak out the door without waking anyone.

Unless of course she was hot. Which is not always the case. Trust me on this one.

The next trick is to find your car,find out where you are,and see if you have enough money to get back home.

I was once living in Virginia,and when it got to the point I could see clearly and reason again,I discovered I was in East St.Louis around midnight on a Saturday night,and the only white man in sight. To quote an old Tarzan movie,the natives weren't looking too friendly,either. Not only that,but all I had on me was a 6 shot revolver with no reloads. Nobody in history got sober quicker than I did that night. To this day I have no idea what the hell I was doing there.  I didn't even know anybody in St.Louis. Last thing I remember was going to party in Norfolk.

My best guess is that I must have met someone at the party  from St.Louis that needed a ride home and offered to pay the expenses if I would take him there.

I might have watched 10 hours of tv and read a dozen newspapers from 1964 to around 1980,but I doubt it. Had other priorities.

I do confess to reading a bunch of books,though. Mostly when I was too broke to party,but still........

   Reminds me of a time in Nawlins 30 years ago, it was the first and last time I ever paid for a woman's company in a run down flea bag hotel right off Bourbon St, where you paid by the hour.  She slipped me a mickey, emptied my billfold, I had no idea where my car was parked and the (dot) Indian behind the bullet proof glass was demanding I pay for the extra towels as I stumbled out of his establishment, I shot him the bird.  Found my car 2 blocks away later that night.  Never outright paid for a woman's companion ever again.

I never woke up that far from home, but we tried to keep it in the next county over...
I didn't read the papers often, but my parents and relatives did.

Nothing really bad, even in my 'bad old days'.  Like I said, we stayed out of the County Papers. (Just good ol' boys having fun....)

THERE is an autograph nobody will ever be able to sell.

Bubbette! is obviously being kept doped to the gills to keep her mobile.

I hope the RNC has the intelligence and the stones to check her speeches and see if she is being fed the words to say through a ear bud.

After all,how much fun would it be to hack into that frequency and tell her fun things to say like "I think black children should be eaten alive,and are quite tasty if you have the right sauce",and "Homosexuals should be rounded up and killed."

Meanwhile in an Alternative Universe out there, somewhere. 

Q: President Cruz why did you talk to the Ukrainian President about investigating Donald Trump?

I will  give Trump this. We have little business in the region, in the midst of a centuries old conflict that heated up when the Turks started running out of Armenians. The Kurds have been trying to assemble their own state since the Partition split their lands between 4 nations, most of which have little use for them. I can't blame them for wanting their own State, but the Turks aren't known for giving in, either.

We don't belong in the middle, and I think Trump made the right choice, getting our people out of the middle of that. He has a point about "endless wars", and even Washington (George, not the city) cautioned against foreign entanglements.

If this becomes a genocide, well, that might change, but he cautioned the Turks against that, too.

I am all for lessening our foreign entanglements...
But an exit strategy is required. One that does not leave our allies in the region exposed to slaughter.
If you are going to destabilize a region by leaving, at least have the good grace to give em a few months heads-up.

I would wager that conversation has been held. It's a tricky position, either way. Turkey still holds Incirlik AFB, and Turkey is part of NATO, iirc. Incirlik has nukes stored there, or at least did (not sure what the status is now). Yes, the Kurds have been instrumental in pinning ISIS to the wall, and have been our allies there.

This is like getting in the middle of a knock down drag out fight between people we work with, but who will likely never get along. He's trying to walk the razor's edge by telling the Turks that there will be sanctions if they try to eliminate the Kurds (genocidaly), but otherwise, trying not to alienate either. He may end up ticking them all off. 

In the meantime, the goal appears to be to have American servicemen out of the middle.  It appears to me to be the best course of action.

I think he is dead_wrong. You spill blood with someone, that needs to be honored.

If that conversation has been made with the Kurds, you sure can't see it by way of the military, who seem to be stone dead against this move.

As for Turkey, screw em. Pull out of Turkey and kick them out of NATO. They are part and parcel of the problem, and will be the head of the Caliphate, if they are not already. They are in it up to their necks.

Load up the nukes, and then pack and bug out. I agree, despite the fact that I wouldn't likely be here if not for The Turkish Brigade in Korea, who relieved my Father's outfit under assault by Chinese. Dad's outfit had policed all the ammo off their dead and those wounded so severely they couldn't shoot, were down to a couple of grenades and that rifle ammo when the Turks showed up.
Had they not come in, I would not likely be here. Only two guys in Dad's unit walked down the hill (they were on a ridge), they were all wounded, and the Chinese were massing another wave.

See, there's the problem, we've shed blood with both.

But I am in agreement that the Turks will likely try to recreate the 'glory days' under the Ottoman Empire, and with the situation in Europe with the 'refugee' invasion, that may yet come, and possibly sooner than we think. Obama's machinations around the Med likely opened eyes to possibilities among those who would be part of the Caliphate (seems to me that's what Obama was striving for, strategically, with the Muslim Brotherhood a big part of that).  Hillary was up to her cankles, headfirst, in that show, too (thus, Behghazi). Sooner or later we'll have that fight. The trick is to do that on our terms, not theirs.
